Patent number: 11333802Abstract: A lens sheet and lens sheet unit include an imaging module and an imaging device which can be made thinner. A first lens sheet has light transmission parts having a unit lens shape, and light absorption parts disposed alternatively with the light transmission parts. A lens sheet unit, on the image sensor side of the first lens sheet, includes a second lens sheet. The second lens sheet has light transmission parts having a unit lens shape, and light absorption parts disposed alternatively with the light transmission parts. When viewed from the optical axis direction, the direction in which the light transmission parts are arranged and the direction in which the light transmission parts are arranged intersect at an angle. An imaging module and a camera are included with the above lens sheet and lens sheet unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2016Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: DAI NIPPON PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuki Bando, Tianyi Sun, Fumihiro Arakawa, Shuji Kawaguchi

Patent number: 11173726Abstract: To provide an inkjet printing apparatus that improves the smoothness of an ink surface and improves image quality. Provided is an inkjet printing apparatus for printing a UV curable ink onto a print medium. The inkjet printing apparatus including: an ejection unit configured to eject the UV curable ink; and a UV light source configured to irradiate, with ultraviolet light, the UV curable ink landed on the print medium, the print medium being formed from vinyl chloride. The inkjet printing apparatus further includes a heating unit configured to heat the print medium. The heating unit either heats the print medium to a temperature at which a solvent contained in the UV curable ink landed on the print medium does not volatilize or heats the print medium in a state in which the UV curable ink that lands on the print medium contains substantially no solvent.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: MIMAKI ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuki Bando, Hironori Hashizume

Patent number: 10786997Abstract: To create a printed matter having favorable image quality that can prevent air bubbles from being trapped at the time when a protective film is attached to a medium. A method of creating printed matter includes: an ink arrangement step of ejecting a photocurable ink on a printing face of a medium by an inkjet method so that an average surface roughness of the printing face is smaller than 15 ?m and irradiating the photocurable ink with a light to be cured; and a laminating step of attaching the protective film to the medium by bonding an adhesive layer of the protective film to the printing face and a surface of the photocurable ink, and the protective film including the adhesive layer having a thickness equal to or larger than 18 ?m and a substrate supporting the adhesive layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: MIMAKI ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventors: Hironori Hashizume, Kazuki Bando
